Multi-tasking at Booth Medical - Angi Reed

When I first began working at Booth Medical I didn’t know anything about how a small business such as this operated. As a mother of two small children, all I had really ever done before was work in a childcare facility. I rose in the ranks there to become Assistant Director, but Booth Medical was growing and needed my help. Being a quick and eager learner, I jumped right in. Needless to say, I had to learn to be quite the multi-tasker. In the beginning, I found myself cleaning toilets one minute or discussing the ins and outs of an autoclave with a doctor over the phone the next. Being only us, we do it all!! Cleaning, selling, shipping, receiving, accounting…and the list goes on and on. Not to mention when I first began Booth Medical had always been a pre-owned equipment dealer with little new sales on the side, but we were venturing off to the world wide web and starting a web page, which the first one my mother built herself. This changed the entire focus of our business away from pre-owned and into new!! Google became our salesman then! Needless to say, we have evolved even since then and now have a good mix of new and pre-owned sales (most of which is autoclave/sterilizers). We even have a maid! Because of the growth we have had, my responsibilities have changed too. I still do some of the mundane tasks, but I also cut deals with National Sales Reps and move around millions of dollars. I feel like I now have the skills to walk into any business and be able to run it. I have learned so much here and would not trade this experience of working in the family business for anything!
